The Consumer Information Services operations of Equifax, which includes several recently acquired R.L. Polk businesses, were $24.3 million, the company announced Thursday. The segment had an operating loss of $2 million.
Atlanta-based Equifax, which released overall second quarter figures in late July, had net income of just over $53 million, up from $52.1 million in second quarter 1999. The company’s revenue rose from $442.6 million to $498.2 million. The quarter ended June 30.
According to the company, the loss in the Consumer Information Services operations resulted from seasonal softness in the city directory business, and the segment is expected to be profitable for the rest of the year.
